Q-Ball Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 I just bought this. I asked about Seafoam and got a weird look. So I asked about something to clean out the engine and I got this kit. Its called TKO-Total Kombustion Overhaul. Any good? Heres a pic and description. Professional set designed to complex cleaning the whole fuel system. Knock out combustion chamber deposits, intake valves and fuel injector deposits. Restore engine performance. Reduces exhaust emissions. Stops engine knock and run on. Restores smooth idling. Contains one of each: Combustion Chamber and Intake Valve Cleaner Fuel Injector Cleaner Engine Antacid Air Intake System Cleaner Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 How much did that cost you? Sounds like a bunch of fancy names for stuff that you might be able to buy for cheaper.. Combustion Chamber and Intake Valve Cleaner - Seafoam/AC Delco Kleens Fuel Injector Cleaner (million different brands of those, all the same stuff) Engine Antacid <- wtf? Air Intake System Cleaner - TB cleaner Quote

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 Seafoam or equivilant= $6 F.I. cleaner like $3 oil additive- unnessesary - like under $10 for basic stuff TB cleaner- like $5 you could have spent half as much for the stuff you needed. Really just the Seafoam (or AC Delco Kleens available at GM dealers) and TB cleaner to spray in the intake would be plenty. Putting stuff in the oil is a waste of money. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 AutoZone here has Seafoam for $3.99 a bottle. Quote
